CBS sure loves the NCIS shows, and it’s showing in huge renewal news!
Usually, the networks wait until spring to hand out renewals of shows. They may make an exception now and then for a show that’s done well out of the gate yet it’s generally around May or so that the network makes their decisions on the spin-off shows.
Well, this year, fans of the NCIS franchise are in for good news as CBS has made a huge wave of renewal announcements. And it turns out all three NCIS shows are getting continuations!
Per TVLine, NCIS will be back for season 23, NCIS: Sydney gets a third season, and NCIS: Origins will continue for Season 2.
It’s great news for lovers of the franchise even as some continue to grouse about how NCIS: Hawaii was canceled after three seasons in May 2024, despite still being one of CBS’s better rated shows. That seemed to be due to the costs of the production in Hawaii but fans wish it had continued.
Still, the renewals shouldn’t be too shocking. NCIS is, after all, one of CBS’s biggest cash cows, not just on CBS but also in reruns in syndication and on streaming sites such as Netflix. The show is a mainstay for the network so getting a record 23rd season is a big move.
“NCIS averages 10.4 million multiplatform viewers with streaming alone up +3% year over year. NCIS: Origins delivers 9.2 million viewers with streaming alone up +72% from NCIS: Hawaii and NCIS: Sydney is estimated to deliver 7 million viewers in live plus 35 days of viewing, based on its series premiere live plus 7 days of viewing estimates.”
So with all that, no shock all three shows are coming back.
